Thanks eve= ryone who dropped by our first attempt at an election night [livestream on Twitch](3D"). I heard many positive things about= it, glad everyone liked it. I ended up standing for five hours or so= while we did that. We'll probably try to livestream major events in = the future, especially ones where talking heads don't add much, such as the= inauguration etc. Also of note, if you get a chance, check out our&= nbsp;[Farketplace](3D") thread - tons= of Farkers are selling stuff in there, and given that Xmas is coming right= up, it's a good time to check out what's going on there. A heads up= for December - we've been working on redesigning the Headline of the Year = process, because currently it's hugely labor intensive. This year, in= stead of doing individual months, I'm going to personally pick all the fina= lists and we'll vote for those. We're hoping to have a recurring and = more streamlined Headline of the Month process going forward in 2021. Finally, we changed the price of TotalFark back in the sum= mer, and since then, TotalFark subscriptions have renewed at the old levels= . We'll be ending this sometime next week, moving to the current pric= ing of $8.33/month - which will require manual authorization. Keep an= eye out for notifications along those lines if your TotalFark is set to re= new soon. ________________________ We now return you to your = usual Fark NotNewsletter. ________________________ Top Comments Some of= the top-voted smartest and funniest comments from the past week Funny: ZAZ answered [a question about boobs and books](3D" Cheesehead_Dave = strong> shared a photo of [today's mos= t popular redhead](=3D" Shostie warned us about [a horrible thing that happened while wearing a= mask](3D") nanim showed us [how building a house from a concept design for a five-story cliff = house would turn out](3D" GRCooper [asked a personal question about pee](3D") Cagey B = rong> could see the appeal of building= a house that hangs off the edge of a cliff Teri r= eacted to an article about [a woman who= has given birth to 15 children](=3D" I Ate Shergar ques= tioned [Sean Connery's taste in movies revrendjim](3D"=)[agreed = with](3D" [this Farker](3D"=) sithon = had [one question about the n= ew female 007](3D"https://w=) Smart: Sid Vicious' Corpse = trong> pointed out [how dangerous prot= ective masks really are](3D"http=) I Ate Shergar questioned&n= bsp;[Sean Connery's taste in movies](3D") markie_farkie figured [there= 's another person who's well chuffed about a whale tail sculpture stopping = a derailed train from plummeting to the ground](3D" ArkAngel = rong> looked at [the odds of winning a = lawsuit against a school for not allowing a child to wear a "Jesus loves me= " mask](3D"https:/=) Stantz shared [information you'd think be obvious, but apparently isn't](3D" hobnail named careers i= n which workers are always suddenly dropping dead ShavedOran= gutan shared [a fan theory ab= out some of Sean Connery's movies](3D"=) Private_Citizen = knew [who else enjoys emptying Bitcoin = wallets](3D"=) The Googles Do Nothing had a suggestion fo= r someone [deciding between collection = a pension or taking a lump sum](3D"=) TotalFark Discussion: Note: This section can only be accessed by [TotalFarkers](3D"  = ; Smart: JerseyTim's [dog impersonated the great David Bowie](3D") (with awesome photo)= Funny: olapbill answered someone [asking Farkers how they put their belts on](3D") Smart: generalDisdain had [a nice surprise for the missus](3D") Sorry I don't hav= e more TFD comments this week - there were so many threads about the electi= on, but I don't include those from TotalFark Discussion since we already ha= ve a politics section, and ain't nobody asking for more politics.&= nbsp; Politics Funny: bloobeary explai= ned [why Donald Trump supporters shut d= own the Mario Cuomo bridge](3D"=) GardenWeasel figured ou= t [why Trump stopped demanding a recoun= t in Wisconsin](3D") thatguyoverthere70 decided to&= nbsp;[protest when we got to our tenth elect= ion discussion thread](3D") bobtheme didn't want us to let election results make us forget to = do the most important thing Naido called out = [another Farker's foolish gamble](3D") = Politics Smart: August11 mentioned [knowing some selfish hypocrites](3D") D= riedsponge looked at [how Joe= Biden was doing in the election results as of Wednesday morning](3D" Sabbath had a suggestion for [what Biden should do if Mitch McConnell tries to block his = cabinet picks](3D") GardenWeasel figured out [why Trump stopped demanding a recount in Wisconsi= n](3D") jayhawk88 had thoughts on [what will happen in the future if people try to do things l= ike those who stopped the Biden bus did](3D") Top Contest Entries Some of the top-voted= contest entries from last week, listed from highest number of votes down Photoshops: noazark found [the little guy steering the little boat](3D") RedZoneTuba had an a-ha = moment at the art gallery Alligator decided the price is right to go on a hike kabloink asked us to [join the red side](3D" Herb Utsmelz took [two hecklers to a socially-distanced show](3D") opalakea [revealed HAL's sec= ret](3D"htt=) noazark [combin= ed two little Photoshop contests](3D" Fiction Fan found= [the ugliest mountain in 12 parsecs](3D")= > GoodDoctorB gave thi= s model a tumble FarkingIceHole showed us [a very bad rally](3D") Cork on Fork followed instructions and [put = a butt in the seats](3D" Captions: For [Caption this candy shower](3D"): Grumpy Cat had [something to say to these= trick-or-treaters](3D"=) Fartist Friday: [Add = nachos to a classic work of art](3D") Famishus kept= us fed with [The Persistence of Nachos=](3D"=) This week's Fartist Friday theme, brought to you by&nb= sp;E-brake: In honor of World Kindness Day, write a h= aiku about goodness, goodwill, caring.

If you would = like to suggest a Farktography theme, please contact [E= lsinore](3D". Fark W= eird News Quiz (brought to you by ox45tallboy= ng>) Another fun time on the Quiz, which we kinda needed after that = stressful week. I'm still a bit unsure on the protocol for eating your kids= ' Halloween candy, though. On the Quiz itself, Seussie cam= e out on top and gets the keys to the 1000 club with a score of 1008, follo= wed by dallylamma in second with 919 and Datanerd in third with 913. whither_apophis= made fourth with 908, and Yellow Beard finished out = the top 5 with 900. The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was about = which toy the Etch-A-Sketch people were looking to add to their stable of t= ime wasters. Only 33% of quiztakers knew that it was Rubik's Inc. they were= looking to take over. I'm imagining the possibilities of a combination Etc= h-A-Sketch/Rubik's cube and I'm thinking I could just draw the colors on ea= ch face so I wouldn't have to figure out how to sort them back out. Althoug= h then I'd have to learn to use an Etch-A-Sketch, so I guess maybe not. = The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was over which Soviet Premiere wa= s in charge during the Cuban Missile Crisis. 85% of quiztakers knew that it= was Nikita Khrushchev who tried to put nuclear weapons on mainland Cu= ba back in 1962. The ships carrying the weapons were blockaded by the US Na= vy under orders from President Kennedy, and eventually the Soviets backed d= own. Good thing all that's sorted out nowadays and we're all best friends, = right? The hardest question on the Easy Quiz was about Hormel's newe= st flavor of its Black Label "premium" bacon. Only 46% of quiztakers knew t= hat Hormel now has created blasphemy against all that is holy with their ne= w "ranch" flavored bacon. Apparently the teenage girl demographic has been = woefully underserved in the bacon market to this point, and they hope to mo= ve in on this lucrative new opportunity with this group of people who never= buy their own food. Well, good luck, I guess. The easiest question = on the Easy Quiz was over the new animated short "Once Upon a Snowman" now = streaming on Disney+. 86% of quiztakers knew that it was based on the story= and characters of the "Frozen" series, and also fixed a small plot hole by= showing that Anna had paid Oaken for her supplies in the first movie by se= lling her coronation dress. Because that one apparently bugged everyone mor= e than how Anna found her hat after being tossed down the stairs by Marshma= llow.
